Notes: The sleeve is exactly the same as the standard version.

Notes: This limited edition 3 cd box set is housed in a slip case which identifies the releas as printed by EMI Music France. The 3 CD's included are the standard versions of Some Old Bullshit and Root Down from Holland, as well as previously unknown copy of Paul's Boutique made in the UK.

"Big Shot" was recorded at the Lorely Festival on the 20th of June 1998.

Notes: The CDs are found attached to the back of the inside cover.
The book is slightly smaller in size (29cm x 29cm) than the original book released with the 4LP Boxset (31.5cm x 31.5cm). It also uses the graphics from the front and back of the boxset and not the Discography images used on the original book.

Notes: If you didn't like the selection of tracks on the standard Anthology set, www.musicmaker.com allowed you to select 40 tracks from a list of 178 and create your own 2CD set online. The second option for ordering your own custom set was via a mail order form. Whichever option you chose, the total number of tracks available were the same, but the sequence varied based on the differences between how tracks were alphabetized online versus the order form. None of the tracks prior to 1989’s Paul’s Boutique were available. Shake Your Rump was left off of the tracks available from Paul’s Boutique but included in the tracks available for Sounds Of Science. Tracks 14 through 22 were offered for purchase only as a suite including all 9 tracks under the name B-Boy Bouillabaisse. Cookie Puss (Censored Version), and (Egg Raid On Mojo (Demo) were not available from Some Old Bullshit. Deal With It was left off of the Aglio E Olio release. The order form had an error which listed Body Movin’ (Movin’ In Kent Mix) (Micky Finn & Special K) as two separate tracks.

Notes: Note that this is not the final sequence that was released and also contains "Rock Hard" prior to the Beastie Boys not being able to convince AC DC to allow it.

The back states "Recorded live at Randy's Rodeo New Jersey 5-22-92 during the Check Your Head Tour Soundboard!". However, the actual venue was TradeWinds.
The bootlegs that have appeared from this show were mislabeled Randy's Rodeo because of inside jokes made by Mike D
while on stage.
Exact year of release is unknown, but due to the Hello Nasty graphics, it would have been after 1998.

Notes: Tracks 4-10 were recorded in Europe, winter 1995.
This release copies all of the tracks from the standard "Root Down" release, even the Israeli Radio Commercial which was included as an unlisted track.
